Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 9, 2026

1. Introduction

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how YouLinkTo collects, uses, shares, and protects your information. By using our services, you consent to the data practices described here.

2. Information We Collect

• Personal Information: Information you provide, such as your name, email address, and payment information when you sign up or make a purchase.
• Usage Data: Data on how you interact with our services, including IP addresses, browser type, device type, and browsing behavior.
• Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies, beacons, and other tracking technologies to improve your experience and analyze usage patterns.
• Account Security Data: We record the IP address used when you create your account and when you sign in, together with the time of your most recent sign-in. We use this to detect and prevent abuse of the service, and to enforce restrictions against accounts that breach our Terms of Service.
• Destination Links: The destination address of every short link you create, so we can operate the redirect and check it for malicious content as described below.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To Provide and Improve Services: We use your information to operate, maintain, and enhance our services, including analytics and support.
• To Communicate with You: We may send promotional and administrative messages, such as service updates or account alerts.
• Legal Compliance: We may process your data to comply with legal obligations and protect our rights and users.
• Abuse Prevention and Security: We check the destination of short links, both when they are created and periodically afterwards, to identify phishing, malware, and other content that breaches our Terms of Service. Where we find such content we may disable the link, suspend the account responsible, and block the IP addresses associated with it from creating further accounts. We do this on the basis of our legitimate interest in protecting the people who click links shared through our service.

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. However, we may share your information with:

• Service Providers: Third-party vendors who perform services on our behalf, such as payment processing or analytics.
• Security Services: We submit the destination address of short links to the Google Safe Browsing service to check them against Google's database of known phishing and malware sites. Only the destination address is sent; we do not send your name, email address, or IP address. Google's handling of that data is governed by its own privacy policy.
• Analytics and Advertising Providers: Our public website uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the site, and the Meta (Facebook) Pixel to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and to show ads to people who have visited us. These services receive your IP address, browser and device details, and the pages you view on our website, and they may set cookies. They are used on our public marketing pages only — they do not run inside your account, and they do not receive your links, their destinations, or your click statistics. These services load only where you have given consent through our cookie banner, and you can change or withdraw that consent at any time using the same banner. Data handling by each provider is governed by its own privacy policy.
• Legal Authorities: To comply with legal requests or protect our rights and safety, if required by law.

5. Data Protection and Retention

Your information is stored securely, and we implement safeguards to protect it from unauthorized access. We retain your information only as long as necessary to fulfill our business and legal obligations.

IP addresses recorded for account security are kept for as long as the account exists and are deleted with it. Where we block an IP address following a breach of our Terms of Service, that block is normally temporary and expires automatically; we may apply a permanent block in cases of repeated or serious abuse. Records relating to abuse of the service may be retained after an account is closed where we need them to prevent the same abuse recurring.

6. Your Data Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights such as accessing, correcting, or deleting your data, and objecting to certain processing activities. To exercise these rights, please contact us at info@youlink.to.

7. International Data Transfers

We may transfer data to countries outside of your home country. When we do, we ensure the data is protected in accordance with applicable law.

8. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the effective date at the top.
